Profile:
HS Altham described him as "a sparkling player who batted as
though he loved it" Barnes was a forceful batsman with strong
off-side shots, as well as a fine medium pacer whose bowling won
at least two Test matches. An excellent close field, and an
automatic first choice for England from the first test played on
English soil to 1890. His finest hour was in the first Test ever
played in Adelaide where his 134 on a rain damaged wicket ensured
the win for England. Overly found of drink, he was warned for
arriving at Notts matches somewhat the worse for wear. On
retirement became landlord of a pub (Dave Liverman, 1998).
